    Static lunges with 50lb dumbbells and step up's on the 2.5ft box with 50lb dumbbells. I feel like I just ran a sprint......

    I have never seen my HR shoot up so high after doing those too things.....EVA

    I've never done them quite this heavy, but yes, they totally jack the heart rate!!

    Definitely burpees. Man makers would be second on my list (a close second).

    ^^^ both of these... especially man makers. I love the results and the feeling afterwards, but I want to shoot myself in the face during them lol :grumble:

    I just had to look up what the crap a "man maker" is .... can safely say I will never be doing that. And I'll be happy about it!

    Weighted split squats. They're also the exercise I'm best at, lol. I push hard and it almost, ALMOST scares me to do them.

    Running is the worst for me. Even when I was the most fit I had ever been in my life, running was a nightmare. Then again I'm a bit "gifted" on top, as my mom puts it, so running is like being hit in the lungs with sandbags each step. It's miserable.

    I haven't done that many exercises but the one that really gets me worried and/or stressed are ANY exercises that involve my shoulders. Apparently I have super weak shoulders.

    Push ups, military presses, those stupid shoulder raises Jillian has one do in the 30 Day Shred... all of these exercises hurt like WOAH and I have such a HARD time completing them... even with my piddly little 3lb weights. It's very discouraging but I'm plodding along and do them when they come along.

    You know, the one that when you hear it, you lose all the air and motivation no matter how many sets and reps.

    I without a shadow of a doubt hate and dread burpees.

    How bout ya'll?

    Deadlifts. Mainly because my grip strength is really weak compared to my lower back and hams...but either way, I freakin' hate deadlifts. So I do them twice a week, lol.
